Inspired by misty Punjab mornings and the crackle of wood-fired ovens, Smoky Chai is a nostalgic blend rooted in tradition. This chai captures the warmth of winter vacations spent in an ancestral village—where tea was brewed slowly in well-worn brass pots over clay stoves, and each sip told a story.
The signature smoky flavor comes from black cardamom, an ingredient known for its bold, earthy aroma and woodsy depth. Combined with premium black tea and warming spices, this blend is made to steep slowly, simmer richly, and comfort deeply.
